At Smarterville, they believe that every child loves to learn, so they focus on nurturing that thirst for knowledge with products that are fun, effective, and easy to use. They respond to a child's natural curiosity and support families and teachers as they help children improve reading, math, and study skills. They celebrate every success so learning becomes a positive cycle that kids will love to repeat again and again. They meet all children at their level, engage their imaginations, and help them climb to the next level step by step. Every achievement ends in a celebration of success, an elevation of confidence, and an increase in self-esteem. As children master reading and math skills, they also lay the foundation for a lifetime of learning. It's their goal to make a difference in children's lives by making learning fun and easy. That's why they have brought together a dedicated team of parents, leading educators, interactive designers, writers, and artists. By collaboration, research, and testing, they continually develop innovative products and systems that teach children not only to learn but also to love learning. Smarterville is backed by Sterling Partners, a leading private equity firm with over 25 years of experience partnering with companies to build market-leading businesses and generate superior returns. With approximately $4 billion of assets under management, Sterling invests growth capital in industries with positive, long-term trends and provides ongoing support to management through a dedicated team of industry veterans, operators, strategy experts and human capital professionals. Sterling Partners is a leader in education, healthcare and business services and is co-headquartered in Chicago and Baltimore.
